Exodus 39:32-40:38; Numbers 9:15-23

Moses inspects the work of the people and blesses them because they have followed God’s command.  The cloud which is the visible manifestation of God settles over the Tabernacle and Moses is no longer able to enter.  Whenever the cloud moves the people follow it.  Whenever the cloud stays in one place the people stay where they are.  At night the cloud becomes a pillar of fire so that the people can always see the presence of God among them.
